Nina Söderquist is a Swedish musical singer.

Career

Nina started her career on Wallmans Salonger and as a choir girl behind many of Sweden's most popular singers.[1] On February 2, 2008 Söderquist won the Swedish talent show West End Star on TV3.[2] She won the prize of getting the leading role as "Lady of the Lake" in the London West End production of the musical Spamalot.[3] In July of that year Söderquist was back in Sweden leaving the London stage for a while, she performed a song at the popular Swedish television show Allsång på Skansen. She was approached by the BBC to compete in the UK Eurovision selection event; she declined the offer.[4]

In February 2009, Nina participated in Melodifestivalen 2009, the Swedish pre-selection show for Eurovision, in the hope of representing Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 in Moscow, Russia. She performed first in her semi-final, finishing in fifth place, short of qualifying for the final and second chance round. She has since been working on material for an album due to be released some time during August, and has expressed a desire to return to Melodifestivalen.

Nina will be taking up the role Lady of the Lake in Spamalot again, this time in Swedish, when the show opens in Malmö on 24 September 2010.[5][6]

America

In July, 2008 it was revealed that Söderquist was among the front-runners for the role as "Saraghina" in the Rob Marshall film Nine, she however in the end lost the role to American singer Fergie.[7] She left the role in Spamalot around that time to focus on Melodifestivalen and her wanting to get a role on Broadway also being offered appearances.[8]
